Source: docbook-xsl
Severity: normal

In docbook-xsl/manpages/other.xsl:290 and 377 (see also
docbook-xsl/params/man.th.extra1.suppress.xml)

docbook emits build-time timestamps into man pages.
Since many packages build the manpages at every build,
if the package places them into arch-any packages the timestamp
breaks multi-arch.

Furthermore, the second timestamp, (man.th.extra1) is shown at
the bottom of the man page readout, and using the build-time rather
than the modify-time here is misleading.

mtime of the xml file seems to be the best thing to replace these
time-stamps with.
